It was actually really great. The staff were lovely, rooms impeccably clean, beautiful interiors - breakfast sensational. It had a friendly vibe and yeah we just loved it. If anything, our room was slightly smaller in floor area to what we're otherwise used to, but that did not impact our 1-night stay - the pool was on the small side too and had limited moments of sunshine, but on a 40-degree Saturday at the ass.end of school holidays, this small limitation was not any kind of dealbreaker. I'd say again.

Great city views. Close to the motorway. The hotel itself was beautiful. The room was great and the highlight was the restaurant. One of the best burgers I’ve had! The infinity pool at night was the cherry on top.

The hotel itself was absolutely amazing. The DFO is a quick five minute walk which was amazing. The breakfast every morning is well worth the price and the staff each morning was lovely. Every part of our stay was top tier. I can't recommend this hotel enough. Seriously. They went above and beyond each day, even leaving a fruit bowl in our room halfway through the stay, and offering little lavender service that was super cool. I would definitely stay here again! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

We will return here again and again!

The service and authenticity of the lovely staff stand out so much. We stayed two nights and it was a little admin bungle from our side that had it under 2 different names. From the outset Kevin in reception was just so lovely.. explained the error and how to fix it. Then my booking was for the next night and the last on reception was amazing at 9pm at night. We will return based on the property and its outstanding people, which lets face it can ruin even the best of accommodation. Well done AC Hotel. You were perfect!
